After a successful outcome for the Global division Girikon contracted to the second division training and education in 2018.

Girikon was evaluated against a number requirements and providers and was selected due to a medium sized agile team in comparison to larger tier 1 consultancy groups, cost effective rates and track record of quality delivery outcomes. Girikon engaged with the customer on a smaller project where Girikon Salesforce specialisation was required.
